About

Hello, I'm Alice.

Alice Di Pinto

Hi there, I'm Alice Di Pinto — a game designer, artist, and workshop facilitator based in Berlin. My creative journey started with a deep love for languages and literature, which later evolved into a passion for storytelling, visual design, and crafting interactive experiences that foster thinking and empathy. I'm currently studying Game Design at HTW Berlin, where I specialize in inclusive game systems, UI/UX, and tech art. My design philosophy is rooted in inclusion, emotional storytelling, and social impact — games that don't just entertain, but open up new perspectives.
